Principal's Message

Being a Champion in the classroom is our mantra here at Harlan Community Intermediate School (HCIS). Teachers and students alike work very hard to make the Intermediate School a top-notch learning community and put student achievement at the top of our priority list.

This is accomplished through hard work, relentless efforts to become better, outstanding technology opportunities, and student centered, inquiry-based instruction that meets the needs of all learners. Students experience high levels of reading instruction including research based reading strategies like; read alouds, think alouds, Talk Alouds, and student friendly vocabulary tactics.

Science and math instruction are also held in high regards here at HCIS. The staff is currently implementing the Science Writing Heuristic Model for teaching science and utilizes Everyday Mathematics as math teaching tool.

As principal, and as a parent of a 5th grade student, I can tell you that Harlan Community Intermediate School is an awesome place of teaching, learning and overall enjoyment for everyone. Whether you’re new to the Harlan Community or an established member of our community, please feel free to stop by and visit about how we’re developing Champions inside and outside the classrooms at Harlan Community Intermediate School.
